"What? All gone! ”

The Great Plains of the Loop, in a small makeshift camp.

Zhu Zhangui frowned.

In front of him, a member of the Moon Shadow was making a quick announcement.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

"The Warats left the night before, and came straight to us, and now they are less than 500 miles away from us."

"And on the morning of the second day, the Tatars suddenly went deep into the steppe, and the people from the Western Regions followed."

"Because they are watching too closely, no one is allowed to leave the team except for Mahamu's guards, and our spies inside can't come out to report at all."

"We tried to send men to follow, but we were stopped by the men they had left behind, and by the time they left, they could not find where the Tatars had gone."

"Didn't the spies leave a walkie-talkie over there?"

The members of the Moon Shadow shook their heads.

"Those spies are all Tatars we have cultivated, and the commander made the adults not believe them, so they did not give them such a confidential thing as a walkie-talkie."

Knowing this reason, Zhu Zhangui didn't say anything more.

It is not a major mistake for the subordinates to do things with the consideration of their subordinates, and it is best not to meddle in the mess, otherwise it is easy to cause chaos.

The walkie-talkie is nothing to Zhu Zhangui, but the old man and his subordinates who have come into contact with these things attach great importance to it, and directly elevate it to the status of a national treasure.

Those equipped with walkie-talkies are all important departments of the imperial court, and they are all important ministers of the imperial court, and those with slightly lower positions can't even be contacted.

The only department that is a little lax is the military, but it will only be distributed when it is used, and it will be taken back immediately when it is used up.

Therefore, the old man's side did not match the spies with walkie-talkies, and Zhu Zhangui could also understand it.

"I know, send people to continue the investigation, and we must find their whereabouts as soon as possible."

Waving his hand to let Moon Shadow Guard leave, Zhu Zhangui went to the old man's tent and reported the matter to him.

The old man, who was wearing his whole body and ready to fight at any time, listened to Zhu Zhangui's report, and didn't even raise his eyelids and smiled:

"Arutai, this guy is an old fox, our plan can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, and it is normal for him to be able to analyze it."

"From what I know about this old guy, he saw that he couldn't keep the Warats, so he thought of using the Warats as a target to attract our attention, and then attack Daming from somewhere else."

Zhu Zhangui very much agrees with the old man's analysis.

That's what he had just thought about.

If he is placed in the position of Arutai, knowing that he will not be able to keep the Warats, he will naturally maximize his interests before they perish.

Take Warat as the target, attract the main army of the Ming Dynasty, and then pretend to retreat, detour from the depths of the grassland to attack the other territories of the Ming Dynasty.

Knowing that other places were attacked, Da Ming would definitely go to the rescue.

But the Warat people, who have a deep blood feud with Daming, naturally will not let Daming go easily.

When the two are entangled, a lot of time will definitely be wasted.

With so much time to work on, the Tatars were enough to grab a large piece.

Even if the Ming army rushed over in the later period, it was also a tired army, and the Tatars waited for their work, and they might not be able to defeat the elite of the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop.

Without the elite of the Ming Dynasty, the entire Ming Dynasty was not allowed to be plundered by the Tatars.

Even if you are a little lucky, it is not impossible to restore the glory of Dayuan again.

Although he figured these things out, what Zhu Zhangui was not sure about was where Arutai would attack from?

The combined territory of the two sides was so large that the Tatars could attack from any place.

As the so-called thousand days to be a thief, there is no such thing as a thousand days to prevent thieves.

You never know what day a thief will come and steal something?

I can only defend every day.

It is not possible to take the initiative.

Take the initiative to attack and fight the opponent's cavalry legion on the grassland, even if the Ming wins, it will be a disastrous victory, so this method is not advisable.

"Since the enemy has made a move, then we can't be passive, little cub, I'll test you, which direction do you think Arutai will attack from!"

Zhu Zhangui was speechless!

This old man is really, his home is going to be stolen, and he has the leisure to test himself.

Yes, the old man is not in a hurry to be the emperor, and he must not be in a hurry, otherwise he will become a eunuch.

Old man, you told me to say this, not that I wanted to pretend.

Zhu Zhangui looked at the groan, touched his chin and looked like a battlefield veteran, and walked to the map.

"Since this old guy Arutai is going to the depths of the grassland, it means that the direction of his attack is not in the northern defense line!"

"Oh, why didn't he attack the north!"

The old man became interested, adjusted his sitting posture, leaned back on the chair behind him, and looked at Zhu Zhangui with interest.

Zhu Zhangui's location in the northern part of the map.

"Over the past few years, we have been strengthening the defense line of the Great Wall in the north, not only with sufficient troops, but also equipped with heavy fortress artillery. Coupled with the new gunpowder and the new flowering bomb, Arutai will not hit it at all unless he is stupid in his head. ”

"He really wants to launch an attack on the defense line of the Great Wall in the north, and if he doesn't kill tens of thousands of people, he will definitely not be able to take a gap."

"Even if you get in, you will face terrain restrictions, as well as the encirclement and interception of defenders from all over the country."

"In this way, he is stuck in the quagmire of war, he can't get out and can't fight, and it is extremely inconsistent with his war goals, so he won't fight from the north."

The old man nodded in agreement.

"In that case, what do you think his goal is?"

Zhu Zhangui thought for a while, and pointed his hand at the northeast position.

"Nu'er Gandusi!"

The old man's eyes narrowed slightly, "Where did the reason come from!" ”

Zhu Zhangui turned around and said.

"I have two reasons!"

"First, in the history of the Nuer Gandusi region, my Ming Dynasty is the first dynasty to completely take over here. Therefore, there is no strong defense line of the Great Wall here, there are loopholes in the attack everywhere, and many raids on the grassland side are starting from here. ”

"It's like Mahamu on the last northern expedition, he was stationed in the Yinma River, which meant that he wanted to launch an attack from here."

Zhu Zhangui's analysis made the old man's face show pride.

He has the capital of pride.

Throughout the entire historical dynasties, the territory of the Han dynasty, the old Zhu family can be said to be the largest.

Now with the addition of the Bangladesh region of the Three Kingdoms, the old man can proudly tell all the emperors in history.

"I, Zhu Di, have conquered the largest territory in the history of the Han Dynasty, and my achievements can only be compared with the First Emperor."

"What Tang Sect and Song Ancestors, what Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty will stand aside for me, I want to stand in the C position with Brother Zheng."

People are greedy, and the emperor is also human, and he is also greedy.

It's just that the emperor is not greedy for gold, silver, treasures, and beauties, but the national territory and the status of the history books.

With such great achievements, the old man was still not satisfied.

It has a powerful navy, advanced weapons, and an invincible army.

The old man set a small goal for himself.

Before he died, lay down the territory beyond the Yuan Dynasty.

The old man is not sure whether this goal can be achieved, but he will do his best to do it.

He is a rebellious thief, and he is full of stains and infamy.

Only by attaining merit that surpasses all emperors can he cover up the stain on his body.

Only then can future generations pay attention to his merits and ignore his little stain.

YY Zhu Zhangui, who didn't notice the old man, continued.

"In addition, during this period of time, the orphans of the Nu'er Gandu Division have become a little dishonest, and the attention of the imperial court has been staring at them."

"This has led to a significant reduction in the number of troops defending the border line."

"Coupled with the transfer of our south, the soldiers on the northern defense line are already less than 1/3."

"There is no fire hedgehog defense line, the defensive force is small, the vertical and horizontal land is large, and it is far from the northern region, plus the entanglement of the Warat people, such a good target, if I were Arutai, I would also attack from here!"

"Bang Bang!"

The old man stood up and clapped his hands repeatedly, walked to Zhu Zhangui's side, and patted him on the shoulder with relief.

"Well... That's right, although there is still a gap between what I think in my heart, I have already roughly guessed Arutai's heart. ”

The corners of Zhu Zhangui's mouth twitched, and he bowed.

"Please grandpa for advice!"

Zhu Zhangui didn't believe it, he analyzed it so thoroughly, and he only got a good evaluation from the old man.

He would like to hear what better analysis this old man who has fought all his life?

Looking at Zhu Zhangui, who was a little unconvinced, the old man smiled and stretched out his hand to point Zhu Zhangui.

"Okay... Little cub, grandpa will let you see how to fight a battle! ”

The old man stretched out his hand and pointed to the map, and continued according to Zhu Zhangui's analysis just now.

"Your idea is good, but you're ignoring a situation."

Zhu Zhangui raised his eyebrows and arched his hand.

"Grandpa, please!"

The old man smiled with satisfaction, and stretched out his hand to draw the position of the slave Gandusi.

"Because it's so poor here."

Zhu Zhangui was puzzled: "Poor? ”

The old man confirmed.

"That's right, it's poor!"

"Before my Ming Dynasty, this place was occupied by steppes and barbarians, coupled with the rebellion at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, these people not to mention money and jewelry, ordinary iron pots and iron tools are rare things, and many places still use bronze tools, and even stone knives and stone axes!"

"What are the steppe people plundering for, nothing more than for food, iron tools and slaves!"

"Although we in the Ming Dynasty have carried out several developments on the Nuer Gandu Division, it is often beaten by the grassland people. Almost every little we built and then destroyed, so to speak, from beginning to end, that place was hardly rich. ”

Stretching out his hand and patting the map, the old man smiled and said, "The poor jingle here is ringing, what did Arutai do in the past?" In your words, is it to help the poor? ”

"As for catching slaves, that's even more impossible!"

"His hundreds of thousands of troops, the logistics are tight enough, and the food stolen by the slaves is enough for them to fight and sacrifice at most, and they can't feed many slaves at all."

"Since you can't feed it, there's not much point in catching slaves."

"And he didn't go to fight Grass Valley in this war, but to weaken our Ming power, so as to prepare for the next invasion of Daming."

"To put it mildly, Nuergan is all in that area, and it is a burden to the imperial court and a burden to Arutai."

"Little cub, I can tell you that if it is invaded there, if the imperial court forces cannot remove the enemy in a short period of time, I will choose to temporarily abandon it for a few years."

After speaking, the old man patted Zhu Zhangui on the shoulder.

"The country should not care about the gains and losses of one city and one place when it fights, sometimes giving up is not necessarily a bad thing, it may be for the next more fierce attack."

Zhu Zhangui nodded instructively.

But he also knew it in his heart.

The method that the old man said also depends on people.

Giving up is for the next more aggressive attack, and for an emperor like the old man who has fought all his life and has rich combat experience, there is nothing wrong with it.

Even one concession, it is likely that the next counterattack will achieve a greater victory.

But if you change to those emperors behind the Ming Dynasty, it will be a bit difficult to say.

Sometimes giving up is not necessarily for the next counterattack, but really can't fight back.

This can't be blamed on the uselessness of the emperor in the back, only on the fact that the enemy is too strong.

And this enemy also includes those wastes that are dragging their feet in the DPRK and China.

Think about the Ming Emperor in later generations, who not only had to deal with foreign invasions, but also had to deal with the officials of his own dynasty.

No wonder there are a lot of guys, playing and playing directly into the harem and not coming out, it's really too difficult for them.

"Grandpa said so, Arutai's attack on Nu'er Gandusi is just a pretense!"

"That's right, this ploy is nothing more than a blow to Sil!"

The old man sneered disdainfully.

"That's all a steppe barbarian can do."

Zhu Zhangui pondered the old man's words for a while, and gradually understood Arutai's train of thought.

Arutai's approximate plan should look like this.

Entangled the main army of the Ming Dynasty with the Wara Legion, consuming the experience and strength of the Ming Dynasty.

And he is attacking Nuer Gandusi, creating the illusion that he is going to invade there.

The Imperial Court had tried its best to defeat Warat, and when it learned that it had been invaded from the northeast, it would definitely rush over to help.

In this way, Arutai has two options.

1st option.

In the Nuer Gandu Division, he waited for work, and when the court arrived tiredly, he directly launched a fierce attack and defeated the main army of the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop.

If the imperial court chooses to advance slowly and steadily, it will always maintain sufficient combat power.

Arutai will make the second option.

That is, with the help of the mobility of the cavalry, turn around and return to the northern region, find the weakness of the defense line of the Great Wall in the northern region, and break the invasion of the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop.

If the northern region is attacked, the Ming court will definitely be in a hurry.

It will definitely urge the legions that go to Nuergandusi to quickly eliminate the entangled soldiers left behind by Arutai and return to the northern region.

Tossing back and forth like this.

Even if the Ming Legion is elite, it is tossed enough.

Thinking about this, Zhu Zhangui couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

There is no simple old guy who can leave a name in history.

Arutai, the old guy, simply took advantage of the shortcomings of the depth of the Ming Dynasty and his strong mobility, and formulated the entire battle plan.

This is also when Daming is at its peak strength, Daming's strongest second-generation team, the old man and others are there.

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty, who was replaced by a descendant, may have really succeeded by this old guy.

"Little cub, I will give you a task, do you dare."

After saying his thoughts, the old man looked at the map and groaned for a while, then turned his head to look at Zhu Zhangui.

Although the old man didn't say any tasks, Zhu Zhangui already had a rough idea in his heart.

"You're going to let me go to Nu'er Gandusi."

The old man bowed slightly.

"After all, it is our Ming territory, if the court ignores it, even if it is recaptured in the future, the people's hearts will be lost."

"Plus I didn't like the feeling of being manipulated, so I decided to take the initiative."

Pulling Zhu Zhangui to the side of the map, the old man said while gesturing.

"My plan is this, I will solve the remnants of the Warat, you go to the north to entangle Arutai, and drag him to the death."

"When my side is settled, I will cross directly from the grassland and stab him in the back road."

The old man squeezed his hands fiercely.

"When the time comes, if we are caught between the front and back, this old bastard will definitely die."

"As long as the Arutai part is solved, there will be no one in the entire grassland to stop us."

As he spoke, he looked at Zhu Zhangui.

"Didn't you say there was a bigger territory to the north. Let's defeat Arutai, and our grandfather and grandson will go north! ”

"Grandpa is old, you accompany grandpa to be crazy again, if you don't go crazy, grandpa's life will be over."

Zhu Zhangui smiled, nodded at him seriously, and then looked at the map and asked the old man.

"Grandpa, how many people are you going to give me?"

The old man gave birth to a hand.

"The 5,000 Shenji Battalion, as well as the local guard of the Nuer Gandu Division, are all transferred by you."

Zhu Zhangui pursed his lips.

"How long!"

"At least half a year!"

Zhu Zhangui was silent for a while and looked at the old man.

"I'm going to transfer half of the people who built the Forbidden City."

The old man waved his hand.

"You take as much as you want, as long as you defeat Arutai, we have slaves to repair the city."

"Okay, I'll leave tomorrow."

The old man shook his head.

"No, time doesn't wait for anyone, you go now."

Zhu Zhangui looked at the old man and raised his hand to hammer his chest.

When Zhu Zhangui turned around to leave, the old man called out to him and handed Zhu Zhangui the sword that he had carried around his waist for many years.

"This sword can be cut by anyone in the entire Ming Dynasty."

Hanging the sword on Zhu Zhangui's waist, the old man made a joke at the end.

"Of course, not me!"

Zhu Zhangui burst out laughing.
